@rp_griffin @gelliottmorris @jon_m_rob Every dot here is a progressive policy that we've polled (subgroup estimates are unweighted, no MRP).
Ideological identification is clearly very meaningful for young/old, though young conservatives being ~ half-way between old moderates/old conservatives is interesting.
